[alcatel-nsp] router upgrade (7710) by swap of compact flash cards ?

[Aleksandr Kuzminsky]

Hello Oriana,

That will work, however please note, some CF are not recognized by 7x50. 
Some time ago i had 3 brand new 512M SanDisk CF. One of them was 
invisible on 7750 eventhough all worked perfectly on a laptop.
